[VIDEO] Yellow Labrador Gets Swimming and Diving Lessons

Awesome video of LABparents trying to teach their Yellow Labrador Retriever, Jack, how to not be afraid of the water. After some coaxing and showing Jack how it needs to be done, he is one Wet and Happy Labrador.

My Chocolate did too right off a boat launch after a duck at around 3-4 months…..scared herself so badly she didn’t swim again till she was 13 months…..then only by accident after that you can’t keep her out of the water….but wet grass or rain forget it lol. Only goes to prove they maybe natural swimmers but fear can be a bad thing even for our Lab Babies!

too funny. our 4 month old jumped into a very chilly lake this past weekend (chasing a rock that was being skipped). she had no idea what she was doing, thankfully the autopilot kicked in and she was able to swim back to shore. (saving us from going in after her) 🙂

So cute! Yeah Jack.
I had to teach my Lab Kostas how to swim. He did not want to go in the water and swimming did not come naturally for him. To this day he won’t go in unless there’s a Kong floatie to go chase/retrieve.

My lab jumps in the water after everything from balls to frisbees to humans. I can’t keep him out. Then in the ocean he dives right in – and rides the waves naturally – I’m not seeing a need to coax a lab to water ever . . . . I suppose it happens from negative experiences when young but my problem is keeping my Lab out of water! He seesa sprinkler and 30 seconds later he’s soaking wet . .

My black lab Tahoe was just like that. He sunk to the bottom of our pool. My husband had to bring him. He held his breath the whole time. But he is a great swimmer now. Had to take to Lake Tahoe a couple of times

Made me lol to scroll down, reading the posts as I went I read the one above this one – it was a story on the snow we’ve been getting in the northeast and how they got over 2 ft in up state NY, very next post is yours asking “Enjoying some pool time this weekend?”…. we wish!!! OH HOW WE WISH!!

Fabulous video!!!! We had to teach our yellow Lab, Miss Lady, to swim also. To this day though, she won’t jump off the side, she’ll only go down the steps and then back up to get out. She’s a real “Lady”. Lol.
